Yesterday I could finally pick up my hedgehog planter from the pottery class. It’s been a long process because, when you’re going to turn on a kiln that can reach 2,000ºC, you want to make sure you make the most of the energy you’re going to use by filling it up as much as possible. I modelled it in raku clay and, before the bisque firing, I painted its eyes and nose with white and black slip, respectively. After the bisque firing, I dipped it in transparent glaze and, finally, it was fired at around 1,200ºC turning it into stoneware.
